The fruit lifts the tartness and gives the chocolate a bright, almost summery quality that lingers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp id=\"speakable-definition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDark Chocolate Orange\u003c\/strong\u003e is a dark bar from Chocolat Bonnat in Voiron, the town at the edge of the French Pre-Alps where the company roasts and grinds its own beans. At least 65 percent cocoa, plus orange; the label reads Chocolat Noir à l'Orange, 100 grams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTart cocoa and a bright citrus side\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first impression is dark and dry, and only as it begins to melt does the orange push to the front, laying a bright trail over the tartness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe snap is clean, a sign of a carefully tempered mass, and the piece dissolves slowly in the mouth. The fruit acidity takes the edge off the bitterness without the chocolate tipping into sweetness, and carries the flavor quite a bit further than the bean alone would.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the orange sits on top and bears the bitterness underneath, the Dark Chocolate Orange seems brighter than its cocoa content would suggest. Those who usually find such bars too intense will find this an easy entry point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter a meal, it pairs well with an espresso, whose roasted notes pick up the dark side while the citrus fruit remains bright in contrast. A bold red wine with its own fruit notes holds its own just as well, and if you eat it on its own, let each piece melt slowly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOrangettes, an old idea from Southeastern France\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrangettes is the name in France for narrow strips of candied orange peel dipped in dark couverture, and this bar takes up that old idea in a flat form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVoiron is in the Isère region, less than thirty kilometers from Grenoble, and in this corner of France, citrus in dark chocolate has been a winter tradition for generations. Chocolat Bonnat incorporates real orange into the mass, and the proportion remains small enough that the cocoa retains the lead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCandied peel primarily adds sweetness, whereas the incorporated fruit primarily adds aroma, and that is exactly what keeps this combination light. When the oranges arrive from southern Europe in winter, the whole experience feels like a piece of the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause neither milk nor anhydrous milk fat belongs in it, this dark chocolate is vegan, which makes things easier when hosting a mixed group after dinner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStored cool, the shine remains\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCocoa butter is sensitive, and a pure bar will reward you if kept cool, dry, and in its closed paper wrapper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf it gets too warm, fat migrates to the surface and leaves a light film; the taste remains, but the shine and some of the snap are lost. Between fifteen and eighteen degrees, the chocolate will keep for months without losing anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFat also attracts odors, so store it away from coffee, cheese, and spices. If the bar is coming from a cold pantry, let it sit for half an hour at room temperature before opening the wrapper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMore chocolate from Voiron\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruity theme continues with the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/bonnat-zartbitterschokolade-erdbeere\"\u003eDark Chocolate Strawberry\u003c\/a\u003e, and those who prefer to taste the cocoa unaccompanied should reach for the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/bonnat-schokolade-equateur-75-zartbitterschokolade\"\u003eÉquateur\u003c\/a\u003e from Ecuador.
